Manage people, work, and assets in ONE mobile workforce management software solution covering all of your utility and maintenance work types.
WORKFORCE MOBILITY APP FOR UTILITY & FIELD SERVICE INDUSTRIES
ARCOS was born and raised in electric, gas, and water utilities. We understand your unique mobile workforce management challenges.
At a time when the industry is undergoing a big crew change, your team struggles with a native workforce shortage and reliance on 40% to 80% contractors. Like most utilities, your legacy systems were designed for a different time when managing an internal workforce was a priority, limiting the ability of native and non-native workers to collaborate around a shared digital view.
At the same time, service providers face aging infrastructure and increasing outages from storm events and climate change. Your team needs to do more with less resources, underscoring the need to efficiently prioritize jobs and reduce SAIDI/CAIDI.
Despite the abundance of data connectivity, mobile technology, and a younger workforce that expects digital solutions, your crews still rely on paper-based feeder maps while communicating with the back office using handwritten notes, text messages, and phone calls. More than ever, you need better situational awareness of planned and unplanned jobs with a clear view of people, work, and assets.
Revolutionizing Workforce Mobility
ARCOS Mobile Workbench is a utility-specific mobile workforce management solution that connects the field and back office through a single pane of glass for flexible and responsive field operations. Featuring powerful integrations with your existing work, outage, and asset management systems, Mobile Workbench breaks down data silos to provide your team with a complete, real time street-level view on Apple and Android devices.
As a result, crew management (native + non-native), work assignments, emergency response, time tracking, assets, service parts, and tools are clearly aligned in ONE cloud-based mobile workforce management software solution.
